All MAC lipsticks are fabulous, but the Viva Glam lipsticks are especially awesome becauseEVERY cent from the purchase of Viva Glam products goes to the MAC Aids Foundation. That's impressive. And the Viva Glam colors tend to be flattering for almost all skintones. The finishes vary, but all of them look great on your lips, apply evenly and have the signature MAC vanilla scent. They wear off fairl...read morey evenly as well, so no need to worry about the dreaded lipstick ring around your lips. However, they are a bit drying. The price is reasonable, at $14.50 a piece. I like that they have special red metal tubing to differentiate them from the regular MAC line, and the signatures on the tube are also a nice touch. I have Viva Glam VI, Viva Glam Gaga 1, and Viva Glam Cyndi. I'm sad Cyndi was discontinued, because it's the most amazing shade of red. It's moderately pigmented, and can be sheered or blotted to be a hint of red, or it can be layered on for a more intense red. It's a great "beginner's red." However, they come out with new Viva Glam products every year, and I'm sure I'll fall in love with another lipstick. — 3 years, 2 months ago
